The Oregon Senate has given final approval to a 10-year, $5.3 billion transportation funding bill.

Gov. Kate Brown is expected to sign the legislation, the result of more than a year’s work by a 14-member joint committee that held more than 50 meetings.

“This is probably the most comprehensive transportation bill the Oregon Legislature has ever passed,” said Sen. Lee Beyer, D-Springfield, who co-chaired the joint committee.

House Bill 2017 will raise gas taxes and car registration fees, tax new car and bicycle sales, allow tolls in the Portland area and impose a new payroll tax to fund transit.

The money will be used to address congestion, maintain and improve existing infrastructure and increase alternate transportation options. The bill also contains measures aimed at improving accountability over how taxpayer dollars are spent.

“Oregon’s rural transportation system is crumbling and outdated while cities are clogged with congestion. This plan takes a smart, responsible approach to preserving our existing infrastructure and investing in a system for the next two decades,” said Sen. Brian Boquist, R-Dallas, committee vice co-chair.

The bill sat in committee until July 1, when it was amended in a compromise with Republicans who wanted a repeal of the state’s low-carbon fuel standard, which requires companies selling fuel in Oregon to reduce carbon emissions.

The amendments cap the law’s effect on fuel prices and add transparency provisions. The compromise also eliminates Portland-area specific taxes.

The bill passed the House Wednesday on a 39-20 vote. It passed the Senate 22-7 Thursday.

Among its provisions:

The current 30-cent per gallon state fuel tax would increase by 4 cents next year, and another 2 cents every other year through 2024, for a total increase of 10 cents per gallon.

The vehicle registration fee would increase to $56. Beginning in 2020 an additional amount would be imposed based on a vehicle’s gas mileage: $18 for vehicles with a rating of 0-19 MPG; $23 for those with a rating of 20-39 MPG; $33 for those with a rating of 40 MPG or greater; and $110 for electric vehicles.

A new vehicle excise tax of 0.5 percent retail sales price would begin next year. New adult bicycles that cost more than $200 would be subject to a flat $15 fee. Part of those funds will be dedicated to electric vehicle rebates.

A statewide employee payroll tax of 0.1 percent would take effect next year. It would cost a minimum wage worker about $20 per year, or a worker with an annual salary of about $50,000 about $50 per year. Funds will be dedicated to public transit.
